Somatic Sensing is a synthesis of Body-Based Psychotherapy and nervous system regulation techniques from Yoga Therapy & Shamanic philosophy.

The sessions are informed by Juliette’s Hakomi training, which is a body-based psychotherapy, alongside her training in the Ancient Wisdoms.

We unify body and mind in a process of self-discovery by coming into a relationship with the body in a mindful, curious, and empathic way to explore what information the body holds for us.

Our emotional world is a rich source of vital information, holding messages for us which can contribute to a greater sense of well-being. We all have organising principles - how we manage our world and our beliefs about ourselves and others. In Somatic Sensing, we bring these often unconscious beliefs into awareness to be studied— to see if they still serve us or if they are limiting us.

By following your body signals, especially your non-verbal expressions such as tensions and habits, we help bring unconscious patterns into awareness to liberate their associated painful emotions.

As Moshé Feldenkrais says:

“ You can’t do what you want until you know what you are doing”

Much of our belief system is formed in our early years, influenced by societal conditioning, peer pressure, life events, and other factors. These beliefs are often limited and are associated with painful memories and hurts. These hurts, fears, and limitations continue to dictate our life circumstances, mostly outside of our awareness. We often come to therapy when life becomes a struggle. The self-study approach of this therapy equips us to access our own capacity for healing - the body is very wise and will move towards healing if we provide space.

Self-study, in the presence of a loving, safe, and empathetic guide, can help us to help ourselves by accessing our wisdom and connection to a deeper sense of self.

We can thrive, not just survive.
